“Straw dog arguments just make you look silly.”
Silly? Popular insult on DU and in the Liberal press. OH NOOOOOOOOO I’ve been called SILLY! snicker....
No one said it WAS fact, silly, the opposite point was made, that it was preposterous that it was commonly treated AS IF it were fact. Silly....hmmmppphhhhhh....
What I said was it was a theory. Are you offering some special mystical insight here, ‘cause there is certainly no logic in correcting something that someone has said by emphasizing what they said, silly...
'If'? Come up with a better theory, that fits the evidence. Or just falsify the theory, if you can't do that. It should be easy : )
